SUMMARY:UKSG Usage data for decision making online seminar 2025
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is aimed at those responsible for collecting\, analysing and making recommendations based on usage data\, whether in a library setting or within a publishing organisation. This online seminar will take place over two days 11th (12:30 start) & 12th November (9:00 start)\, for more details please visit the programme section below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, November 11\, 2025 – 12:30 GMTtoWednesday\, November 12\, 2025 – 12:30 GMT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeedback \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nclick here to register.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nThose with a responsibility for overseeing the management of library collections have more access than ever to statistical data to assist with evaluation and to justify return on investment\, and enhancement of the user experience. Understanding the library’s use of this data is also vital for publishers.   Advances in standardisation led by the COUNTER initiative have made statistics more accessible and reliable as a basis for decision making. \n\n\n\nIncreasingly\, libraries are being asked to make extremely difficult decisions about the priorities for their spending within a strategic context.  Although this presents huge challenges\, it can also be an impetus to change the ways in which services are provided. Publishers need to be aware of what statistics librarians are looking at and how they are being used to inform collection development. \n\n\n\nThis seminar provides illustrations by expert decision makers on how statistics are used to make strategic decisions.  It will also present the challenges\, such as demonstrating value and presenting data to different audiences.  Future developments within the field will also be addressed\, together with considerations of how these will impact on decision making in the future\, for example new approaches to analytics.  There will be discussion on how the development of open access is impacting on usage behaviour and influencing considerations for collection development. \n\n\n\nDelegates will have the opportunity to reflect on the role of statistics in the broader context of further and higher education\, and the culture of assessment that is becoming increasingly prominent within the sector.  Delegates will be encouraged to actively participate throughout the day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend \n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at both those in libraries who need to analyse or interpret usage data to support decision making about resources and collections\, within a strategic context.  It will be of interest to those with a responsibility for overseeing the management and evaluation of library collections in the further and higher education sector\, and who need to demonstrate impact and value to senior leadership teams\, rather than those involved in the operational role.  It may also be of interest to those working in other areas of the scholarly information industry.  It will also be of importance to publishers who need to understand the collection development decisions of their customers. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This seminar does not cover the practical aspects of collecting usage data\, or of creating reports.  These topics are covered by the UKSG Practical Usage Statistics for Librarians seminar\, a hands-on workshop on gathering and manipulating usage statistics. \n\n\n\nBoth days will be recorded and available for playback on demand post event for registered delegates.  \n\n\n\nWe welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics are generally UK focussed\, if you have any doubt about the suitability please don’t hesitate to contact us.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\n\nDelegates will:  \n\n\n\n\ngain a greater insight into the wider environment and context in which usage statistics decision making is carried out and new approaches to this\n\n\n\nlearn about ways in which library resource usage statistics have been used by staff in university libraries to inform decision-making processes\n\n\n\ndevelop an understanding of how usage statistics can be used to demonstrate value from a publisher perspective\n\n\n\ngain knowledge of the impact of open access publishing on usage statistics and demonstrating value\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Information \n\n\n\n\n\nThe webinar tool we use is Go to Webinar.

A major part of her role is the coordination of the various aspects – relating to Brill’s online publishing program – between publishing\, sales and marketing. Working closely with the Data and Platform Teams within Brill’s Operation department she plays an important role in monitoring usage data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12.40 \n\n\n\n\n\nCOUNTER: the community standard for usage metrics  \n\n\n\nNot sure why we need normalised metrics? Unclear about the difference between an Investigation and a Request (or how those relate to views and downloads)? Can’t understand why metrics are missing from your standard views? This session will clear up the confusion with an introduction to the COUNTER Code of Practice for usage data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTasha Mellins-Cohen  \n\n\n\nCOUNTER Metrics \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nTasha Mellins-Cohen\, Executive Director at COUNTER Metrics and Founder of Mellins-Cohen Consulting\, joined the scholarly publishing industry in 2001. She has held roles within learned societies and commercial publishers across operations\, technology\, editorial and executive functions\, while donating time to key industry initiatives and bodies such as UKSG\, ALPSP and STM. In 2020 she started consulting in response to requests for help in developing and implementing OA business models in not-for-profit groups. In 2022 she stepped up from volunteer to Director at COUNTER Metrics\, the standard for usage metrics\, alongside her consulting work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.20 \n\n\n\n\n\nUnder the COUNTER when usage data is harder to find  \n\n\n\nCOUNTER stats are great for the majority of our journal and ebook holdings\, but what about the resources which don’t supply COUNTER stats? As libraries are increasingly asked to give access to a range of non-traditional resources such as maps\, business data and law sites\, as well as specialist journals and magazine titles the job of gathering and analysing usage can be complex. This session will look at some of the other places Edge Hill goes hunting for usage\, including directly from publishers websites\, as well as using data from EZProxy to gain evidence of usage\, as well as addressing some of the drawbacks to these methods. \n\n\n\n. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRuth Smalley  \n\n\n\nEdge Hill University  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRuth is the Subscriptions and Licensing Manager at Edge Hill University. Ruth has had a varied career with roles in PR and teaching\, before a career change took her to working in public libraries and then moving into higher education libraries. Ruth has a particular interest in evidence based collection decisions and is never happier then when she has a problem that requires a new spreadsheet or Power BI dashboard! Ruth lives in Warrington and enjoys making jewellery and clothes in her spare time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14.20 \n\n\n\n\n\nUsing COUNTER with other data sources to answer essential library questions \n\n\n\nIn this session we’ll use real files to crossmatch usage (from a COUNTER Title Report) with pricing (from a publisher price list) to calculate cost per use.

For read access\, KI Library has multiple levels of service we can provide for our users at different price points. With many different kinds of usage data that can potentially support decision making in this area\, we wanted to see how we could use different kinds of usage data together in a more systematic way to catch emerging information needs \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Hahne \n\n\n\nKarolinska Institutet \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nDavid is an e-licensing librarian at Karolinska institutet – a medical university in Stockholm\, Sweden.

Engagement data (e.g. attendance/ use of VLE) can give us ‘obvious’ red flags\, but it can be difficult to quantify the ‘depth’ of student engagement. Library/ learning resources information may help with this. We know that use of our online e-book platform (BibliU) correlates with module outcomes. We will talk about how this data can be part of targeting comms\, support and interventions for individual students and different student groups during the semester\, to try to increase student success \n\n\n\n\n\nValerie Cox   \n\n\n\nCoventry University  \n\n\n\nSee Biography\nOriginally a researcher in muscle physiology\, Dr Val Cox has worked in academic lecturing/ leadership roles at Coventry University for 26 years.

The opportunities for sharing Open Education Resources are greater than ever. This widespread change has led to many ethical and practical questions around ownership\, hosting and copyright. This seminar explores the current OER landscape\, looks at how some of these issues are being addressed\, and highlights the opportunities presented by the growth of OER resources. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy should you attend?  \n\n\n\n\n\nDelegates will have a chance to hear from a variety of different perspectives\, which will include how open resources can support teaching and learning\, how resources are being developed and promoted\, and how others have approached the creation and management of OER policies. This course is aimed at anyone who is keen to understand more about Open Educational Resources\, with a view to creating them\, making use of them for teaching and learning\, or creating policies around them.  \n\n\n\nDO NOTE:  We welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics for this event are generally UK focused and times are in BST\, if you have any doubt about the suitability\, please don’t hesitate to contact us.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should you attend?  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe seminar will be of interest to those working across the scholarly information industry\, including publishers\, librarians\, teachers\, lecturers\, learning technologists\, research support staff\, other aligned professionals and students. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives  \n\n\n\n\n\nAt the end of the course participants will: \n\n\n\n\nGain a wide overview of the current OER environment across the UK and US\n\n\n\nLearn about the opportunities and challenges of implementing an OER policy at an organisational and national level\n\n\n\nDiscover benefits and opportunities of engaging with the creation of OER content\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Information  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe webinar tool we use is Go to Webinar.   To test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecording  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe sessions will be recorded and available to all registered delegates after the event\, so if you unable to join us live or want to review any presentation this will be available. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nUKSG wants to provide the best possible experience for all our delegates\, making presentations as accessible and inclusive as possible.  Our intention where possible is to strongly encourage our speakers to provide auto generated closed captioning for both live and recorded events as well as to make sure their slides as easy as possible for all people to read.

What are the alternatives? We present the results of a pilot programme at Coventry University where the commercial textbook has been discarded in favour of a shift to Open Content. Is this the beginning of a (re)new(ed) paradigm or a Canutian exercise in futility? \n\n\n\n\n\nPhil Brabban \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhil Brabban \n\n\n\nCoventry University \n\n\n\nSee Biography\nHaving initially trained and worked as a Secondary School English and Drama teacher\, Phil swiftly made the decision to alter course\, changing career to follow a life of excitement and high adventure in Librarianship.

To implement the policy\, a proactive approach was taken\, with the formation of a cross-faculty OER Working Group. This group was tasked with promoting policy awareness\, fostering an OER community\, identifying guidance and support for staff and making recommendations in support of the policy. In this talk we will review the steps taken so far to move to a position where the use of OER is embedded as standard practice at Sheffield. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLouise Robson  \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sheffield  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nLouise Robson is a Professor of Digital Innovation in Learning and Teaching at the University of Sheffield\, with over 30 years experience in teaching.

The seminar will take place online over two half days\, although you may want to set aside some reading time prior/in between the sessions.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday 29 April\, 2025 – 11:00 BSTtoWednesday 30 April 2024 – 14:00 BST \n\n\n\n\n\nOnline United Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\nFeedback \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMap \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is now open – please register for your place here \n\n\n\nUKSG membership rate: £70+VAT \n\n\n\nNon-membership rate: £82.00+VAT \n\n\n\nDetails of membership can be found at  https://www.uksg.org/join \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Information  \n\n\n\n\n\nElectronic publishing has brought huge changes to learned information provision and to the role of librarians and other information professionals.  ‘Ownership’ of content is no longer a simple matter of receiving and storing print copies on a shelf.  Publishers and intermediaries license access to electronic resources\, and so the licence has become a feature of most sales agreements.  Information professionals consequently need to become familiar with the terms and conditions of licences\, their meaning and their implications.  This two-day online course will address these issues using a mixture of presentations\, Q&A and some homework. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy should you attend?  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe online course is designed specifically for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions. Librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending. Participants will gain a good understanding of the key issues surrounding publisher licensing and negotiations\, together with practical skills and knowledge which they will be able to use in their professional lives. \n\n\n\nJisc Collections has an international reputation for expertise in the negotiation and licensing of scholarly online resources.  It currently manages around 200 agreements\, and its model licence is seen as a ‘gold standard’ across the academic sector. \n\n\n\nDO NOTE:  We welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics for this event are generally UK focussed and times are in GMT\, if you have any doubt about the suitability\, please don’t hesitate to contact us.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives  \n\n\n\n\n\nAt the end of the course participants will: \n\n\n\n\nunderstand the key issues surrounding publisher licensing\, and how these impact libraries\n\n\n\nbe familiar with the concept of a Model Licence and the important clauses in publisher licences\n\n\n\nbe familiar with the principles of successful negotiation of terms and conditions in the context of licensing online information resources     \n\n\n\nunderstand the fundamental dos and don’ts of e-resource licence negotiation\n\n\n\nbe aware of the legal implications that licence terms have for their institution\n\n\n\nunderstand the latest issues and concerns related to licensing\n\n\n\nbe aware of the issues around licensing for additional users\, including those at partner organisations.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nUKSG wants to provide the best possible experience for all our delegates\, making presentations as accessible and inclusive as possible.  Our intention where possible is to strongly encourage our speakers to provide auto generated closed captioning for both live and recorded events as well as to make sure their slides as easy as possible for all people to read. In addition\, we can provide auto generated transcripts post event for each of the recorded sessions. \n\n\n\nIf you have particular accessibility needs or questions about this seminar/webinar\, we welcome you to contact us directly at events@uksg.org prior to booking your place. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nDay 1 Day 2\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome and Introduction Note: All times GMT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBen Taplin  \n\n\n\nJisc \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nBen Taplin has been Jisc’s contract and licensing specialist for ten years.

However\, collecting\, cleaning\, analysing\, and presenting data can be time-consuming and increasingly may require specialist skills and tools. This seminar will help delegates to discover the opportunities for utilising data in their institutions\, introduce some of the data analysis and visualisation tools available\, and offer case studies highlighting how libraries are already using different types of data to support service delivery and development and demonstrate impact. Data sources explored will include but are not limited to resource and service usage and discovery data\, research and open access data\, budgetary data\, print book circulation and library footfall data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse level and previous knowledge required \n\n\n\n\n\nThis course will be of particular interest to librarians and library managers working in further and higher education who are interested in developing a data analytics service in their library and utilising a range of different data to support decision-making. The seminar may also be of relevance to publishers and suppliers interested understanding how librarians are using data in their libraries. Previous experience of working with data may be useful but is not essential. Please note that the seminar will not provide practical hands-on experience or training on how to use specific data visualisation tools. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This seminar does not focus in depth on the collection\, collation\, analysis or interpretation of eresource usage data. These topics are covered by two other UKSG courses in this area: UKSG Usage Statistics – Practical Skills for Librarians and UKSG Usage Statistics for Decision Making. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\n\nDelegates will: \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand how data can be made visually engaging and used to demonstrate impact and create stories for different audiences\n\n\n\nConsider a range of different library data sources and how these may relate to wider institutional strategy and context\n\n\n\nConsider how data can be used to support strategic planning and service development\n\n\n\nBecome familiar with some of the data visualisation tools available\n\n\n\nGain insights into how other libraries are developing data visualisation services\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Information \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

SUMMARY:UKSG Usage data for decision making online seminar 2024
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is aimed at those responsible for collecting\, analysing and making recommendations based on usage data\, whether in a library setting or within a publishing organisation. This online seminar will take place over two days 6th (12:30 start) & 7th November (9:30 start)\, for more details please visit the programme section below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, November 6\, 2024 – 12:30 GMTtoThursday\, November 7\, 2024 – 12:15 GMT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeedback \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nThe seminar is now fully booked and registration is now closed\, to join the waitlist please email events@uksg.org.  Many thanks for your interest. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nThose with a responsibility for overseeing the management of library collections have more access than ever to statistical data to assist with evaluation and to justify return on investment\, and enhancement of the user experience. Understanding the library’s use of this data is also vital for publishers.   Advances in standardisation led by the COUNTER initiative have made statistics more accessible and reliable as a basis for decision making. \n\n\n\nIncreasingly\, libraries are being asked to make extremely difficult decisions about the priorities for their spending within a strategic context.  Although this presents huge challenges\, it can also be an impetus to change the ways in which services are provided. Publishers need to be aware of what statistics librarians are looking at and how they are being used to inform collection development. \n\n\n\nThis seminar provides illustrations by expert decision makers on how statistics are used to make strategic decisions.  It will also present the challenges\, such as demonstrating value and presenting data to different audiences.  Future developments within the field will also be addressed\, together with considerations of how these will impact on decision making in the future\, for example new approaches to analytics.  There will be discussion on how the development of open access is impacting on usage behaviour and influencing considerations for collection development. \n\n\n\nDelegates will have the opportunity to reflect on the role of statistics in the broader context of further and higher education\, and the culture of assessment that is becoming increasingly prominent within the sector.  Delegates will be encouraged to actively participate throughout the day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend \n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at both those in libraries who need to analyse or interpret usage data to support decision making about resources and collections\, within a strategic context.  It will be of interest to those with a responsibility for overseeing the management and evaluation of library collections in the further and higher education sector\, and who need to demonstrate impact and value to senior leadership teams\, rather than those involved in the operational role.  It may also be of interest to those working in other areas of the scholarly information industry.  It will also be of importance to publishers who need to understand the collection development decisions of their customers. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This seminar does not cover the practical aspects of collecting usage data\, or of creating reports.  These topics are covered by the UKSG Practical Usage Statistics for Librarians seminar\, a hands-on workshop on gathering and manipulating usage statistics. \n\n\n\nBoth days will be recorded and available for playback on demand post event for registered delegates.  \n\n\n\nWe welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics are generally UK focussed\, if you have any doubt about the suitability please don’t hesitate to contact us.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\n\nDelegates will:  \n\n\n\n\ngain a greater insight into the wider environment and context in which usage statistics decision making is carried out and new approaches to this\n\n\n\nlearn about ways in which library resource usage statistics have been used by staff in university libraries to inform decision-making processes\n\n\n\ndevelop an understanding of how usage statistics can be used to demonstrate value from a publisher perspective\n\n\n\ngain knowledge of the impact of open access publishing on usage statistics and demonstrating value\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Information \n\n\n\n\n\nThe webinar tool we use is Go to Webinar.

Operations in this department are among other things\, print and electronic scholarly information recourses\, Open access and scholarly publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12.40 \n\n\n\n\n\nImperial Measurements – what we actually look at when we look at etextbook usage data \n\n\n\nAt Imperial College\, we have been running analyses of etextbook usage for as long as we’ve had our collection\, and they’ve helped us develop processes which focus on value for money\, and help support decisions around purchasing and cancellations. However\, in the interests of time and clarity\, we’ve got used to adopting a very broad definition of the word ‘usage’. In this presentation\, we’ll examine exactly what we mean by ‘usage’\, and look at how some other performance indicators might challenge our previously held assumptions about what ‘good usage’ is. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndrew Knight \n\n\n\nImperial College London \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAndrew has been Acquisitions and Content Services Manager at Imperial College London since May 2020. This is a strategic role which looks after acquisitions\, metadata and document delivery across seven Imperial College Libraries\, identifying and implementing new technologies and innovations\, and advising the Library leadership team on sector developments. \n\n\n\nAndrew represents Imperial College at a sector level on a number of national groups and networks including Jisc’s Learning Content Expert Group\, the NAG committee\, and SUPC’s framework and contract management groups. His particular interests are around collection development\, library-supplier relations\, and how libraries can extract better value-for-money from a not-always-helpful market. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.10 \n\n\n\n\n\nMade to measure: how can we make decisions that align with our institutional values – an update \n\n\n\nUsage data is a tool in a Library’s evaluation arsenal. When budgets are squeezed and renewal reminders come in\, we instinctively reach for those precious figures to show us how loved\, or not\, our resources are.  We will compensate for issues in completeness and accuracy\, and we use this data as a proxy for qualitative measures that are intangible. But as Library’s allocate more budget to open resources\, are our proxy measures still valuable? \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Bethany will reflect on how what we want to measure has changed\, and how data driven decision making needs to make a little room for values driven decision making.  She also gives an update on how things have changed recently\, budgets cuts and changes.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBethany Logan \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sussex \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nBethany Logan is Associate Director of the Library at the University of Sussex.

Discipline-specific OACA was found\, despite higher average JIFs of non-OA journals. The effect was strongest for the green OA variant. These results may inform the development of publishing strategies. Researchers do not have to compromise between OA publishing or achieving citation impact. Importantly\, green OA can provide at least as high citation advantage as paid OA in hybrid journals\, offering a no-cost option for increased accessibility and impact. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nŠárka Erben Johansson \n\n\n\nMalmö University \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nŠárka is a research librarian at Malmö University.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to open access 2024 - online seminar
DESCRIPTION:The rise of open access and associated compliance requirements has created an increasing role for librarians in supporting pre-publication workflows for journal articles and other research outputs. It has also led research institutions to develop a widening range of services and systems to support publication and manage compliance. This online event is hosted over 2 half days. Registration open. \n\n\n\nCourse Summary\n\n\n\nThe rise of open access and associated compliance requirements has created an increasing role for librarians and other information professionals in supporting pre-publication workflows for research outputs. It has also led research institutions to develop a widening range of services and systems to support publication and manage compliance.    This course will give a basic introduction to this rapidly evolving area. In particular it will: \n\n\n\n\nprovide an overview of the research and funding landscape \n\n\n\noutline the key stages in the open access publication lifecycle from submission to publication\, noting the key differences between Green and Gold publication\n\n\n\nsummarise the typical requirements for compliance with government policies and funder mandates\, and relate these to the publication routes for Green and Gold publication\n\n\n\nexplain the complementary roles of publishers\, libraries and intermediaries in supporting these stages\, and the typical activities that they each perform during the life-cycle\n\n\n\ngive focus to the specific challenges and opportunities associated with open access publishing for books and book chapters. \n\n\n\nlook at selected services\, systems and standards designed to support and manage the processes of open access publishing\n\n\n\nexplain how new policies and initiatives (eg Right Retention) are continuing to affect open access publishing and compliance requirements \n\n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the key stages in publication in relation to open access and compliance  \n\n\n\nBe able to summarise typical compliance criteria\, and relate these to the publication lifecycle   \n\n\n\nUnderstand the basic roles of funders\, research managers\, libraries\, publishers\, intermediaries at each stage of the publishing journey\n\n\n\nBe aware of the key services and systems which support workflows\n\n\n\nBe aware of the application of open access publishing workflows across different research output types \n\n\n\n\nCourse Level and previous knowledge required\n\n\n\nThis course offers an introductory\, entry-level overview and no previous knowledge is required\, although some awareness of the different types of scholarly journals and open access models (such as Green and Gold) may be useful.    Please note that this is not a detailed practical or technical course and it will not go into detail about how specific services or systems function\, or how to optimise workflows. Instead the course gives a high-level\, introductory overview of the essential elements of processes and systems\, providing the conceptual foundation for other more specific training in the use of particular services and systems.    \n\n\n\nSupporting Information package\n\n\n\nThis will be sent to registered delegates in advance of the seminar. The course organisers have compiled an optional Open Access pre-Course Reading List for attendees – all items will be openly available.   \n\n\n\nAttendee Information\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\nUKSG wants to provide the best possible experience for all our delegates\, making presentations as accessible and inclusive as possible.  Our intention were possible is to strongly encourage our speakers to provide auto generated closed captioning for both live and recorded events as well as to make sure their slides as easy as possible for all people to read.

SUMMARY:Bridging the divide between the media and research: building trust in better communication webinar
DESCRIPTION:Media interest in research has never been greater due to the global impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and Climate Change\, among other topics. How research is communicated varies from an international scale down to local level\, as also reflected in the quality of coverage from in-depth news features to poorly referenced\, click-bait churnalism. Join us for this online seminar. \n\n\n\nRegister for this recording\n\n\n\nYou may still register for the recording of the webinar by visiting the GoToWebinar site. \n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nPlease scroll down for further details of the programme.  \n\n\n\nSummary\n\n\n\nSocietal and media interest in research has never been greater due to the global impact of Covid-19 and Climate Change\, among other topics. How research is communicated should be of the greatest importance to academics\, their organisations\, funders and publishers.The relationship between journalists and researchers is an important one\, but they are not the only stakeholders invested in this process. How research is communicated varies in quality and scale from international to local coverage. The quality of research-related news also varies in the quality of coverage from in-depth news features to poorly referenced\, click-bait churnalism. Join us to hear from experts as to how research is being shared and what can be done to improve that process. \n\n\n\nThose working in the publishing\, media communications\, library and journalism sectors share common ground and there are benefits for attendees in gaining a greater understanding of how each part of this communication cycle works and how they can collaborate better. \n\n\n\nLibrarians and journalists both work to analyse and deliver factual and timely information\, yet that can be undermined by missing out key components that can underpin a news story\, such as a research article or funder link. Academics looking to capture pathways to impact miss out on evidence if there is no audit trail relating to the coverage due to the lack of proper media coverage. \n\n\n\nThe lack of substantial evidence within a news story has the potential to generate fake or poorly reported news\, which can have a damaging impact on the reputation of research. This seminar will highlight good examples of working practice as well as explore what more can be done to improve this ever-changing ecosystem. \n\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at journalists\, research managers and administrators\, librarians\, publishers and communications professionals in universities and publishing.  \n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nMorning Afternoon\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction & welcome \n\n\n\nAll times stated are GMT \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTasha Mellins-Cohen \n\n\n\nCounter \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nTasha Mellins-Cohen joined the scholarly publishing industry in 2001.

In this presentation\, I argue for a new approach to enable libraries to take back control of their systems and their data. Open source software is not only more secure than proprietary software but allows users more control and customisation over how the software works. By working collaboratively\, libraries could establish community-driven multi-tenant library systems installations using open source software to give them more control over their system security\, to protect their users’ lending data\, and to divest themselves of third-party private library systems companies. Using examples from the Copim and the Open Book Futures project infrastructure\, I’ll show how open source software provides a more secure and more ethical alternative to proprietary software. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSimon Bowie \n\n\n\nCentre for Postdigital Cultures\, Coventry University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nSimon Bowie is an Open Source Software Developer at the Centre for Postdigital Cultures\, Coventry University\, UK\, where he works on the Open Book Futures project helping to build community-owned and scholar-led open infrastructures for open access book publishing with a particular focus on experimental book publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.50 \n\n\n\n\n\nAssessing Cyber Resilience in Nigerian Libraries: An Empirical Study of Security Measures\, Threats\, and Preparedness \n\n\n\nLibraries in Nigeria\, like others globally\, are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats\, compromising the integrity and availability of their digital collections and services.

In many ways\, the pandemic has accelerated the acceptance of remote learning and faster technological advancements. Still\, in other ways\, it has exposed areas of weakness concerning data security/privacy in education and its supply chains. Besides education entities taking up more traditional and resilient security measures/frameworks\, there can also be an approach to deploy innovative technologies such as blockchain or decentralized networks and utilize decentralized digital identities (DID). \n\n\n\nIn the education sector\, digital identities can be used for various purposes such as verifying academic qualifications\, authenticating students and staff\, and managing educational resources. It could also create a secure\, decentralized system for storing and sharing academic research. This would make it easier for researchers to find and access the data they need and would help to prevent fraud. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStefan Kendzierskyj \n\n\n\nMaverick Publishing Specialists \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nStefan Kendzierskyj has an extensive commercial\, consulting\, and strategic leadership background\, holding senior and executive-level positions with technology solution-led companies servicing the publishing\, fintech\, government\, and cybersecurity sectors.Stefan holds a master’s degree in Cybersecurity and is an accomplished author in emerging technology subjects\, such as governance/risk/compliance\, privacy\, blockchain\, self-sovereign identity\, AI\, cyber warfare\, and cyberattacks/threats – with published works through world-renowned publishers such as Springer\, Elsevier\, Taylor & Francis\, IGI\, and World Scientific.His latest research involves GRC frameworks and cybersecurity for ground-to-space satellite systems. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15.40 \n\n\n\n\n\nClosing keynote \n\n\n\n\n\nKathleen McEvoy \n\n\n\nThe EveryLibrary Institute \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nWrap up and close \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiam Bullingham \n\n\n\nCounter \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nUntil recently\, Liam managed research support in Library and Learning Services at Edge Hill University.

From the selection of objects on which to focus through to consultation with external stakeholders on language and terminology\, the seminar will highlight how the resources are serving to develop skills and knowledge for colleagues right across the organisation and raise awareness of BIPOC artists\, designers and makers to inspire the next generation of creatives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCara Williams  \n\n\n\nVictoria & Albert Museum \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nCara Williams has worked in the cultural education sector for over 15 years at some of the leading institutions in the UK\, including Tate Modern\, Southbank Centre and the V&A\, where she is currently responsible for overseeing the development of learning programmes and resources for students and teachers. \n\n\n\nIn her time at the V&A\, Cara has set up the museum’s first designer-led workshop programme\, established the V&A’s national schools programme\, DesignLab Nation\, and redesigned the free online teachers’ resources to support teaching and learning at the museum and in the classroom. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12.05 \n\n\n\n\n\nFrom reusable training materials to empowered trainers: Reflections from the European Open Science Cloud \n\n\n\nThis presentation will look at the hidden challenges associated with the rapidly expanding amount of OERs and online training catalogues available\, focusing on the open science area. Many recent initiatives prioritise making training catalogues FAIR (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, Reusable) by adapting the existing FAIR data principles to training catalogues. However\, instead of focusing on the “FAIRness” and availability of the online training resources\, this session questions what support is needed to ensure that the current investment in open educational resources and training catalogues significantly improves the quality of education around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelen Clare  \n\n\n\nJisc  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nHelen has over 20 years’ experience working in training and staff development in the education sector.

OER can come in many different file formats and be useful for many different audiences. But with all of the work that has gone into creating the OER\, how can authors make their content findable and accessible\, whilst also encouraging reuse and tracking the impact of the outputs. \n\n\n\nFigshare is a repository that plays host to lots of different types of content. Our institutional repositories have provided many ways for different types of OERS to be shared\, grouped together and tracked. Everything gets a DOI and citation counts\, Altmetric scores\, views and downloads are tracked across each output. \n\n\n\nThis talk will run through how you can get credit for all of your OERs. whilst also highlighting the different ways others have done this at institutions around the globe.. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMark Hahnel  \n\n\n\nDigital Science  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nMark Hahnel is the CEO and founder of Figshare\, which he created whilst completing his PhD in stem cell biology at Imperial College London.

There has been less investment in understanding demand\, and for good reason. OER titles circulate without conventional measures of demand such as ‘points of sale.’ But supply and demand go together — also for good reasons — and we would argue that the OER ecosystem is weaker for lack of a good understanding of the demand for titles. Open Syllabus has developed tools to map and explore the demand side of OER\, and to feed that back into the community. We’ll do some show and tell and look forward to hearing from you whether this data can help in your efforts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoe Karaganis  \n\n\n\nOpen Syllabus  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nJoe Karaganis is the Director of Open Syllabus\, a nonprofit curricular archive and analytics organization.

Its content is open to editing by anyone yet through rigorous policies and transparency it managed to stay free of misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic and be a reliable source of information in general. This presentation looks at the existing practices and the potential of using Wikipedia editing to teach critical thinking\, information literacy and awareness about underrepresented topics and issues. By actively taking part in sharing open knowledge\, students can reflect on how knowledge is produced\, who can access it and what systematic issues we need to address. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam Harangozo  \n\n\n\nNational Institute for Health & Care Research  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAdam Harangozó works in projects focusing on open access and open knowledge\, focusing mostly on Wikipedia.

SUMMARY:UKSG Usage Data for Decision Making online seminar 2023
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is aimed at those responsible for collecting\, analysing and making recommendations based on usage data\, whether in a library setting or within a publishing organisation. This online seminar will take place over two days 26th (13:00 start) & 27th September (9:30 start)\, for more details please visit the programme section below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, September 26\, 2023 – 13:00toWednesday\, September 27\, 2023 – 12:30 BST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nUnfortunately registrations are now closed to be put on the waitlist should any become available click here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nThose with a responsibility for overseeing the management of library collections have more access than ever to statistical data to assist with evaluation and to justify return on investment\, and enhancement of the user experience. Understanding the library’s use of this data is also vital for publishers.   Advances in standardisation led by the COUNTER initiative have made statistics more accessible and reliable as a basis for decision making. \n\n\n\nIncreasingly\, libraries are being asked to make extremely difficult decisions about the priorities for their spending within a strategic context.  Although this presents huge challenges\, it can also be an impetus to change the ways in which services are provided. Publishers need to be aware of what statistics librarians are looking at and how they are being used to inform collection development. \n\n\n\nThis seminar provides illustrations by expert decision makers on how statistics are used to make strategic decisions.  It will also present the challenges\, such as demonstrating value and presenting data to different audiences.  Future developments within the field will also be addressed\, together with considerations of how these will impact on decision making in the future\, for example new approaches to analytics.  There will be discussion on how the development of open access is impacting on usage behaviour and influencing considerations for collection development. \n\n\n\nDelegates will have the opportunity to reflect on the role of statistics in the broader context of further and higher education\, and the culture of assessment that is becoming increasingly prominent within the sector.  Delegates will be encouraged to actively participate throughout the day.. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at both those in libraries who need to analyse or interpret usage data to support decision making about resources and collections\, within a strategic context.  It will be of interest to those with a responsibility for overseeing the management and evaluation of library collections in the further and higher education sector\, and who need to demonstrate impact and value to senior leadership teams\, rather than those involved in the operational role.  It may also be of interest to those working in other areas of the scholarly information industry.  It will also be of importance to publishers who need to understand the collection development decisions of their customers. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This seminar does not cover the practical aspects of collecting usage data\, or of creating reports.  These topics are covered by the UKSG Practical Usage Statistics for Librarians seminar\, a hands-on workshop on gathering and manipulating usage statistics. \n\n\n\nBoth days will be recorded and available for playback on demand post event for registered delegates.  \n\n\n\nWe welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics are generally UK focussed\, if you have any doubt about the suitability please don’t hesitate to contact us.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nDelegates will:  \n\n\n\n\nlearn about ways in which library resource usage statistics have been used by staff in university libraries to inform decision-making processes\n\n\n\ndevelop an understanding of how usage statistics can be used to demonstrate value from a publisher perspective\n\n\n\ngain knowledge of the impact of open access publishing on usage statistics and demonstrating value\n\n\n\ngain a greater insight into the wider environment and context in which usage statistics decision making is carried out and new approaches to this\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-event checks \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates. Our aim is to make presentations as accessible and inclusive as possible. \n\n\n\nHere’s how we achieve that: \n\n\n\n\nClosed Captioning Options: Our GoToWebinar application allows you to toggle closed captioning on or off during live sessions. You can also customise the text size and colour to suit your preferences.\n\n\n\nAuto-Generated Transcripts: For each recorded session\, we can provide auto-generated transcripts on request. \n\n\n\n\nIf you have particular accessibility requirements or questions about this event\, we strongly encourage you to contact events@uksg.org as soon as possible.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nWednesday 27th September Tuesday 26th September \n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction & welcome \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09.35 \n\n\n\n\n\nEvaluation of Transformative agreements \n\n\n\nA presentation of a model used at Malmö University to evaluate Transformative agreements. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAron Lindhagen \n\n\n\nMalmo University  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAron Lindhagen has worked at academic libraries since 2006\, and has been at Malmö University since 2017. His work focuses on research support\, strategic publishing\, open access and research data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09.35 \n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s no use: making sense of data which may not be as it seems \n\n\n\nImperial’s Acquistions team has been buying etextbooks and using usage stats as evidence for a number of years. Recently\, it has emerged that these usage stats may not be exactly what they appear to be. \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Andrew will outline how we can make sense of what a usage statistic actually is – and how usage statistics can differ wildly – and will ask how much we can rely on usage data to inform our purchasing policies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndrew Knight  \n\n\n\nImperial College London  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAndrew has been Acquisitions and Content Services Manager at Imperial College London since May 2020. This is a strategic role which looks after acquisitions\, metadata and document delivery across seven Imperial College Libraries\, identifying and implementing new technologies and innovations\, and advising the Library leadership team on sector developments. \n\n\n\nAndrew represents Imperial College at a sector level on a number of national groups and networks including Jisc’s Learning Content Expert Group\, the NAG committee\, and SUPC’s framework and contract management groups. His particular interests are around collection development\, library-supplier relations\, and how libraries can extract better value-for-money from a not-always-helpful market. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10.35 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10.55 \n\n\n\n\n\nMade to measure: how can we make decisions that align with our institutional values \n\n\n\nUsage data is a tool in a Library’s evaluation arsenal. When budgets are squeezed and renewal reminders come in\, we instinctively reach for those precious figures to show us how loved\, or not\, our resources are.  We will compensate for issues in completeness and accuracy\, and we use this data as a proxy for qualitative measures that are intangible. But as Library’s allocate more budget to open resources\, are our proxy measures still valuable? \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Bethany will reflect on how what we want to measure has changed\, and how data driven decision making needs to make a little room for values driven decision making. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBethany Logan  \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sussex \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nBethany Logan is the Research & Open Scholarship Senior Manager at the University of Sussex. She has worked in academic library roles since 2006 and currently leads the design and delivery of Library services to support research and open scholarship\, embedding principles Open Research and Scholarship in policy\, practice\, and culture across the University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:25 \n\n\n\n\n\nAltmetrics – if you look beyond the numbers\, you’ll find meanings \n\n\n\nAltmetrics or alternative indicators of scholarly interest can tell us a lot about research and how it is being received beyond the traditional citation and impact factor scores\, that much we know. But what else can altmetrics tell us about our research world\, especially producing the outputs\, communicating them and what opportunities can we leverage from all of this? We’re not yet using altmetrics to their full potential but in the course of this short talk Andy will provide a few insights on how we can make better use of this data to gain a better grasp and understanding of our scholarly world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndy Tattersall \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sheffield  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.55 \n\n\n\n\n\nRole of JUSP in gathering usage statistics and informing decision making \n\n\n\nJUSP save libraries time and effort by collecting and collating usage statistics into one place. JUSP’s reports and visualisations allow libraries to focus more effort on analysing and monitoring use\, value and impact of resources. In this presentation\, we will look at how JUSP works\, the importance the COUNTER and SUSHI standards\, and provide examples of how JUSP’s reports and visualisations can help libraries make data informed decisions when it comes to renewing\, purchasing\, and promoting e-resources \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaura Wong \n\n\n\nJisc \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nLaura Wong is product manager for two COUNTER-based usage statistics services (JUSP and IRUS) and works within the Jisc licensing intelligence and analytics team.

With new funder requirements around openness for books being introduced in the UK and other countries\, this topic is increasingly important to Librarians\, publishers and intermediaries\, and is undergoing rapid development.  \n\n\n\nThe seminar will include a variety of case studies showcasing and exploring the current framework for Open Access monograph publishing in the UK and Europe. It will investigate the diversity of Open Access monograph publishers\, as well as how OA book and chapter provision has evolved over time. The session will also highlight several new collaborative sector initiatives looking to support and foster open access monograph publishing\, as well as several that have a particular focus on expanding the promotion and discovery of open monographs. \n\n\n\nThe course will also look to compare and contrast approaches to monograph provision and support by country\, with case studies from the UK and Sweden. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the key challenges in facilitating open access monographs.\n\n\n\n\n\nBe aware of how open access monograph publishing\, and support for this publishing\, has evolved over time.\n\n\n\n\n\nHave an insight into the variety of different forms of Open Access monograph publisher\n\n\n\n\n\nGain an introduction to the existing support framework for researchers looking to produce OA monographs\, including some of the sector initiatives in this area.\n\n\n\n\n\nHave some understanding of how different countries are approaching the challenges of OA monograph support and discovery.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThe seminar will be of interest to those involved (or interested) in any area of open access publishing or research support\, especially in the UK and Europe. The subject material will be useful for anyone wishing to develop their understanding of this rapidly developing topic. It will be of particular relevance to librarians\, publishers\, intermediaries and funders who are working directly in the production or support of open access monographs\, or who are having to consider these challenges in light of new funder requirements. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse level and previous knowledge required \n\n\n\n\n\nAttendees should possess an understanding of the fundamentals of Open Access\, as these will not be covered by the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-event checks \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

I’ll attempt to give an overview of some of these changes\, focusing particularly on community-led projects I’m involved with\, such as COPIM’s Open Book Futures; policy changes\, including UKRI and the PALOMERA project; and the rise in collective models to support the costs of OA book publishing. I’ll cover some of the challenges these changes pose\, but also the potential for a shift that brings many more readers to the academic book. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLucy Barnes  \n\n\n\nOpen Book Publishers  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nLucy Barnes is Senior Editor and Outreach Coordinator at Open Book Publishers\, a leading non-profit\, scholar-led Open Access book publisher based in Cambridge\, UK. She also works on outreach for the Copim Open Book Futures project and is on the board of the ScholarLed collective. She coordinates the Open Access Books Network (oabooksnetwork.org) in collaboration with OAPEN\, OPERAS\, and SPARC Europe\, and she is on the Editorial Advisory Board for the OAPEN Open Access Books Toolkit. She is also part of the PALOMERA project on OA book policy. You can find her on Twitter @alittleroad. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:20 \n\n\n\n\n\nMalmo University Press \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMat Blomberg \n\n\n\nMalmo University Press \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:15 \n\n\n\n\n\nHow White Rose University Press (WRUP) is navigating the OA landscape: Past\, present and future … \n\n\n\nWhite Rose University Press (WRUP) is a library-led\, non-profit academic press\, we are an established Press having opened our doors in 2016. This talk will focus on our development in relation to the OA landscape to this point\, and next steps on how we intend to build on that growth\, while continuing to support the wider OA community. \n\n\n\nWRUP contributes to initiatives like the Jisc New University Press Toolkit\, co-created a series of Mythbusting workshops focusing on open access monographs\, and is also a founding member of the new Open Institutional Publishing Association; activities which aim to support and drive the OA publishing community. As a Library Publisher\, with other institutional and scholar-led publishing initiatives\, this talk will hopefully show how we are working together to shape a new way forward. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLucy Cook  \n\n\n\nWhite Rose University Press \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nLucy is the Publishing and Communications Assistant for White Rose University Press\, and is based at the University of York. Her role is focussed around increasing the production capacity of\, and supporting advocacy work for\, WRUP.

How do we go about unlocking longform scholarship? UK-authored shortform scholarship now has very high rates of open access. By contrast\, UK-authored longform scholarship remains largely unavailable to the UK public that helps fund its creation. At Arcadia we believe that equitable open access to longform scholarship is eminently achievable\, given sufficient will. Providing open access to scholarship isn’t just for those with ‘external grants’\, it is for everyone. This talk will explore the variety of ways of doing open access monograph publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoss Mounce \n\n\n\nArcadia  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\n Ross is Director of Open Access Programmes at Arcadia – a charitable foundation that works to protect nature\, preserve cultural heritage and promote open access to knowledge.

In our pilot year\, we are aiming to make 20 frontlist monographs in African Studies and International Development open access immediately upon publication. In this talk I’ll share our aims and motivations\, explain how the model works and why we designed it this way\, and explore what we’ve learnt so far and what might come next. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRos Pyne  \n\n\n\nBloomsbury Academic  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRos Pyne is Global Director\, Research and Open Access at Bloomsbury Academic.

Kriterium is a way of awarding a quality label to academic research\, with a certification that ensures and shows that a scientific publication has undergone a controlled and documented peer review process. Books with the Kriterium label are also made freely available online. \n\n\n\nKriterium is a collaborative venture between Swedish universities and Swedish publishers\, with representatives from the Swedish Research Council\, Riksbankens Jubileumsfond\, the National Library of Sweden. \n\n\n\nThe Kriterium portal is open to academic research from all institutions of higher education and independent scholars. Kriterium is primarily intended for research and researchers with a Swedish connection\, and will thus uphold the tradition of academic books published in Sweden. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUlf Zander \n\n\n\nLund University  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nUlf Zander is Professor in history at Lund University\, Sweden.

SUMMARY:Publication to press: building trust in research communication - online seminar 2023
DESCRIPTION:Media interest in research has never been greater due to the global impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and Climate Change\, among other topics. How research is communicated varies from an international scale down to local level\, as also reflected in the quality of coverage from in-depth news features to poorly referenced\, click-bait churnalism.  Join us for this online seminar that takes place over one day – Tuesday 27th June – 10:00 to 15:30 BST. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nApril 08 2024 – 08:00toApril 10 2024 – 13:30 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nScottish Event Campus (SEC)Glasgow\, G3 8YWUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is now closed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nHow research is communicated should be of the greatest importance to academics\, their organisations\, funders\, journals and the media organisation. Ultimately it should be of the highest importance to policy makers and society. Yet\, in a world where research is increasingly published Open Access there is still a failure to include all of the relevant pieces of information\, such as links to the research paper\, especially on a local level.   \n\n\n\nThose working in the publishing\, media communications\, library and journalism sectors share common ground and would benefit from a greater understanding of how they could benefit by their greater collaboration. Librarians and journalists both work to analyse and deliver factual information\, yet that is undermined by missing out key elements that can underpin a news story\, such as an article or funder link.   \n\n\n\nAcademics looking to capture pathways to impact miss out on evidence if there is no audit trail relating to the coverage due to the lack of proper media coverage. Whilst Altmetrics can help this\, it often fails to pick up mentions\, due to the aforementioned problems. The lack of substantial evidence within a news story has the potential to generate fake or poorly reported news\, which can have a damaging impact on research communication. It is much harder for a journalist to apply bias or cherry pick a piece of research if they have to cite a freely available research article or lay summary.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at journalists\, librarians\, publishers and communications professionals in universities and publishing.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Information \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial \n\n\n\n\n\nFollow the conference on X formally Twitter @UKSG and the hashtag #UKSGNov or on Linkedin \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

Nita was previously at the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) where she oversaw their portfolio of projects focused around training and upskilling anaesthesia providers in low and middle income countries. Prior to that\, at the Fairtrade Foundation\, Nita led the policy and research team before developing the organisation’s work on the impact assessment and evaluation of Fairtrade projects. She has extensive experience of working on complex global projects and programmes and working with\, and coordinating diverse teams. Nita has also worked at Consumers International\, the Overseas Development Institute and ActionAid. Nita also has a PhD in Microbiology and a Masters in Public Health Nutrition from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:50 \n\n\n\n\n\nAI: the end of publishing as we know it or a Brave New World \n\n\n\nSince ChatGPT was unleashed in late 2022 it has taken the academic world by storm\, causing concern about the impact it will have on teaching and research. But some of the early predictions have already been disproved. So what can Large Language Models (LLM) do in the research area? What are the implications? Is it all bad? The reality is no-one knows and the landscape is shifting very quickly\, but this talk will attempt to shine light on the current debate. It will be out of date as soon as it is finished. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDanny Kingsley  \n\n\n\nAustralian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nDr Danny Kingsley is an Australian-based thought leader in the international scholarly communication space. She took up the position of Community Manager for the Southern Hemisphere at OAPEN in August 2023 and is a Visiting Fellow at the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science. Danny has consulted for multiple Australian universities since returning from the UK where she worked as the Deputy Director of Cambridge University Libraries from 2015-2019. She established Open Access Australasia in 2013. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.15 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.25 \n\n\n\n\n\nProprietary software has failed: a community-driven open source security proposal \n\n\n\nFollowing a number of high-profile cyber attacks on UK universities\, many libraries are rethinking the prevalent UK approach to library systems: a reliance on proprietary software that has failed to protect their users’ data and a management approach to outsourcing systems that has reduced the numbers and skills of in-house technical staff. In this presentation\, I argue for a new approach to enable libraries to take back control of their systems and their data. Open source software is not only more secure than proprietary software but allows users more control and customisation over how the software works. By working collaboratively\, libraries could establish community-driven multi-tenant library systems installations using open source software to give them more control over their system security\, to protect their users’ lending data\, and to divest themselves of third-party private library systems companies. Using examples from the Copim and the Open Book Futures project infrastructure\, I’ll show how open source software provides a more secure and more ethical alternative to proprietary software. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColin Angus  \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sheffield  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nColin Angus is a mathematical modeller in the Sheffield Alcohol Research Group at the University of Sheffield. His research mostly uses complex computer models to answer questions about the potential impact of alcohol policy and has played a major role in the development of policies such as Minimum Unit Pricing in Scotland and the UK’s low risk drinking guidelines. He also developed a side hustle in COVID analysis during the pandemic. He is a strong believer in the power of a good graph\, and spends altogether too much time drawing graphs and posting them on Twitter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.55 \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Importance of Choice: Balancing Journal Types in the Publishing Ecosystem \n\n\n\nIn an increasingly competitive publishing market\, authors have both too many options\, and not enough options. As the landscape continues to evolve\, it is important to balance the mix of titles published by commercial and independent publishers\, in order to provide researchers with a variety of different types of journals to support their individual publishing needs. Society-owned journals in particular have a vital role to play in ensuring diversity and quality in scholarly publishing. They are often able to provide a unique perspective on emerging topics and can offer a platform for underrepresented voices in the field. Yet there are risks to this vibrant and diverse landscape\, and society-owned journals are facing increasing pressures. This talk aims to provide practical suggestions for how the industry can achieve a balance\, and will highlight the benefits of doing so for researchers\, publishers\, and the wider community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobyn Mugridge  \n\n\n\nFrontiers  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRobyn joined Frontiers in 2018\, having previously worked for several other international publishers including Springer Nature and the NIHR Journals Library. In 2019 she established the Publishing Partnerships program at Frontiers\, where her work now focuses on strategic collaborations with societies. Robyn is also the interim Co-Chair of the ALPSP Education Committee\, and in her spare time\, she enjoys writing her publishing blog www.MugsPubs.com and speaking publicly at publishing events. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12.20 \n\n\n\n\n\nLunch Break  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nDisseminating research through the media \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRachael Pells \n\n\n\nFreelance Journalist \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRachael Pells is a freelance journalist who writes news articles and long-form features about science and research for a wide range of newspapers and magazines\, online and in print.

Why should we do this and how can we do this effectively? How do we develop a media strategy\, and prepare for media interviews? In this short presentation I’ll provide an overview of some tips and tricks on media engagement that I’ve picked up during my career thus far\, with a focus on the benefits to us as academics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaria McNamara \n\n\n\nUniversity College Cork \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nMaria is Professor of Palaeontology at the School of Biological\, Earth and Environmental Sciences at University College Cork. Her primary research interests are in the field of soft tissue preservation in fossils\, with particular focus on fossil colour and on feather evolution. She uses advanced microbeam and spectroscopic techniques to explore the ultrastructure and chemistry of soft tissues in fossils and their extant analogues\, with a strong emphasis on taphonomic experiments to help bridge the gap between ancient and modern materials. Her current research on ancient biomolecules\, including melanin and keratin\, is supported in part by two ERC grants (Starting and Consolidator Grants). Maria is committed to public engagement to help diversify palaeontology and STEM more broadly and to inspire an appreciation of the natural world amongst the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14.40 \n\n\n\n\n\nPublications\, impact and media work – a research organisation perspective \n\n\n\nThe way government invests in research has changed significantly over recent years\, demanding more evidence of research impact and a structured approach to evaluation is vital to making the case. Influencing government decisions through media engagement is also vital. This talk will cover how a research institute\, working closely with the library team\, used bibliometric data\, research evaluation and media engagement to successfully make the case for a £90M investment and set the scene for a much bigger investment to follow. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSara Fletcher  \n\n\n\nISIS Neutron and Muon Source \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nSara Fletcher is Head of Impact and Evaluation at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source – a publicly funded research organisation.

SUMMARY:UKSG Licensing Skills for Librarians Online Seminar 2023
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is designed for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions; specifically for librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending. The seminar will take place online over two half days. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, February 21\, 2023 – 11:00 GMTtoWednesday\, February 22\, 2023 – 14:00 GMT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nUnfortunately the seminar is fully booked. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nElectronic publishing has brought huge changes to learned information provision and to the role of librarians and other information professionals.  ‘Ownership’ of content is no longer a simple matter of receiving and storing print copies on a shelf.  Publishers and intermediaries license access to electronic resources\, and so the licence has become a feature of most sales agreements.  Information professionals consequently need to become familiar with the terms and conditions of licences\, their meaning and their implications.  This two-day online course will address these issues using a mixture of presentations\, Q&A and some homework \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy should you attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThe online course is designed specifically for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions. Librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending. Participants will gain a good understanding of the key issues surrounding publisher licensing and negotiations\, together with practical skills and knowledge which they will be able to use in their professional lives. \n\n\n\nJisc Collections has an international reputation for expertise in the negotiation and licensing of scholarly online resources.  It currently manages around 200 agreements\, and its model licence is seen as a ‘gold standard’ across the academic sector. \n\n\n\nDO NOTE:  We welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics for this event are generally UK focussed and times are in BST\, if you have any doubt about the suitability\, please don’t hesitate to contact us.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\n\nAt the end of the course participants will: \n\n\n\n•    understand the key issues surrounding publisher licensing\, and how these impact libraries•    be familiar with the concept of a Model Licence and the important clauses in publisher licences•    be familiar with the principles of successful negotiation of terms and conditions in the context of licensing online information resources•    understand the fundamental dos and don’ts of e-resource licence negotiation•    be aware of the legal implications that licence terms have for their institution•    understand the latest issues and concerns related to licensing•    be aware of the issues around licensing for additional users\, including those at partner organisations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-event checks \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecording \n\n\n\n\n\nThe sessions will be recorded and available to all registered delegates after the event\, so if you unable to join us live or want to review any presentation this will be available. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to open access - online seminar
DESCRIPTION:The rise of open access and associated compliance requirements has created an increasing role for librarians in supporting pre-publication workflows for journal articles and other research outputs. It has also led research institutions to develop a widening range of services and systems to support publication and manage compliance. This online event is hosted over 2 half days.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, November 1\, 2022 – 10:00 GMTtoTuesday\, November 1\, 2022 – 10:00 GMT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nScottish Event Campus (SEC)Glasgow\, G3 8YWUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is now closed \n\n\n\nNote: a small amount of pre-reading is suggested in advance of the seminar\, a link will be sent to you on registration \n\n\n\nIf you are unable to attend – We will send you a link to a recording after the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nThe rise of open access and associated compliance requirements has created an increasing role for librarians in supporting pre-publication workflows for journal articles and other research outputs. It has also led research institutions to develop a widening range of services and systems to support publication and manage compliance.    This course will give a basic introduction to this rapidly evolving area. In particular it will: \n\n\n\n\nexplain how new policies (eg Plan S) are affecting compliance requirements \n\n\n\n\n\nprovide an overview of the research and funding landscape \n\n\n\n\n\noutline the key stages in the publication lifecycle of a journal article from submission to publication\, noting the key differences between Green and Gold publication\n\n\n\n\n\nsummarise the typical requirements for compliance with government policies and funder mandates\, and relate these to the publication routes for Green and Gold publication\n\n\n\n\n\nthe complementary roles of publishers\, libraries and intermediaries in supporting these stages\, and the typical activities that they each perform during the life-cycle\n\n\n\n\n\nexplain the part that preprints play in scholarly communication\n\n\n\n\n\n look at selected services\, systems and standards designed to support and manage the process\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy you should attend \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course will be valuable to those working in research management\, libraries\, publishers and intermediaries. It will be useful for new entrants at practitioner level wishing to gain an overview of processes and players\, but also for senior managers needing a summary of a rapidly growing area. Whilst some elements may focus more specifically on the policy and compliance context in the UK\, it will nevertheless also be of relevance to international members.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning objectives \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the key stages in publication of a journal article in relation to open access and compliance  \n\n\n\n\n\nBe able to summarise typical compliance criteria\, and relate these to the publication lifecycle   \n\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the basic roles of funders\, research managers\, libraries\, publishers\, intermediaries at each stage  \n\n\n\n\n\nBe aware of the key services\, systems and metadata standards which support workflows  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Level and previous knowledge required \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course offers an introductory\, entry-level overview and no previous knowledge is required\, although some awareness of the different types of scholarly journals and open access models (such as Green and Gold) may be useful.    \n\n\n\nPlease note that this is not a detailed practical or technical course and it will not go into detail about how specific services or systems function\, or how to optimise workflows. Instead the course gives a high-level\, introductory overview of the essential elements of processes and systems\, providing the conceptual foundation for other more specific training in the use of particular services and systems.    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSupporting Information package \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis will be sent to registered delegates in advance of the seminar. The course organisers have compiled an optional Open Access pre-Course Reading List for attendees – all items will be openly available.  In addition\, we encourage delegates to listen to the recording of the UKSG webinar on Working with Open Access (7 October 2019) which introduces the basic concepts of Open Access and how they work together to build wider access to knowledge.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-event checks \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecording \n\n\n\n\n\nThe sessions will be recorded and available to all registered delegates after the event\, so if you unable to join us live or want to review any presentation this will be available.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Resource Discovery - online seminar
DESCRIPTION: \nResource Discovery is a new seminar which gives an overview of what is discovery from the point of view of librarians\, content providers and the technology services. It gives attendees insight into the discovery services landscape\, metadata and processes behind the scenes. This seminar will take place over two days on Tuesday 25th October (am) & Wednesday 26th (pm). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, October 25\, 2022 – 10:00 BSTtoWednesday\, October 26\, 2022 – 16:00 BST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nWe are sorry but this event is currently fully booked \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nResource Discovery is a new seminar which gives an overview of what is discovery from the point of view of librarians\, content providers and the technology services. It gives attendees insight into the discovery services landscape\, metadata and processes behind the scenes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will be valuable to anyone responsible for supporting discovery for e-resources in libraries and content providers or who are seeking a basic understanding of what is discovery and an introduction to some of the technology services that support scholarly communications. \n\n\n\nThe seminar will impart a practical understanding of the technological challenges and of metadata as key element of discovery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Level and previous knowledge required \n\n\n\n\n\nThe course level is for beginners. Some familiarity with the different types of online scholarly content may be helpful\, for example ejournals\, ebooks and online databases. If you are new to this area\, it may be worth first attending the UKSG Introduction to E-Resources which gives an overview of different types of resources and how they are published and provided online. This course is also suitable for people who needs a refresher (after a career break or moving jobs) as Discovery is a moving landscape. \n\n\n\nOtherwise\, no previous knowledge is required.

The seminar will be delivered over two mornings\, and delegates will be asked to use the time in between sessions to reflect on some of the issues raised. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nDesigned particularly for staff who are new to working with e-resources\, whether from a publisher\, an intermediary or a library\, this seminar may also be of interest to those looking to consolidate and update their e-resources knowledge. \n\n\n\nWe welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics are generally UK focussed\, if you have any doubt about the suitability please don’t hesitate to contact us.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nTo gain practical tips on managing e-resources which can be applied in the workplace\n\n\n\nTo gain a basic understanding of the serials supply chain and the factors influencing it\, including Open Access\n\n\n\nTo understand and learn how to build relationships between publishers\, intermediaries and libraries\n\n\n\nTo learn how to have informed conversations with customers/suppliers\n\n\n\nTo gain insight into the practical aspects of managing e-books\n\n\n\nTo share experiences with other delegates and discuss questions and challenges which arise during the seminar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse level and previous knowledge required \n\n\n\n\n\nIntroductory and non-intensive\, entry-level training for the beginner\, novice or returner.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-event checks \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial \n\n\n\n\n\nFollow the conference on X formally Twitter @UKSG and the hashtag #UKSGNov or on Linkedin \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

SUMMARY:UKSG Licensing Skills for Librarians Online Seminar 2022
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is designed for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions; librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending.

Librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending. Participants will gain a good understanding of the key issues surrounding publisher licensing and negotiations\, together with practical skills and knowledge which they will be able to use in their professional lives. \n\n\n\nJisc Collections has an international reputation for expertise in the negotiation and licensing of scholarly online resources.  It currently manages around 200 agreements and its model licence is seen as a ‘gold standard’ across the academic sector. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\n\nAt the end of the course participants will: \n\n\n\n•    understand the key issues surrounding publisher licensing\, and how these impact libraries•    be familiar with the concept of a Model Licence and the important clauses in publisher licences•    be familiar with the principles of successful negotiation of terms and conditions in the context of licensing online information resources•    understand the fundamental dos and don’ts of e-resource licence negotiation•    be aware of the legal implications that licence terms have for their institution•    understand the latest issues and concerns related to licensing•    be aware of the issues around licensing for additional users\, including those at partner organisations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-event checks \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecording \n\n\n\n\n\nThe sessions will be recorded and available to all registered delegates after the event\, so if you unable to join us live or want to review any presentation this will be available. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

SUMMARY:Publication to press: building trust in research communication
DESCRIPTION:Media interest in research has never been greater due to the global impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and Climate Change\, among other topics. How research is communicated varies from an international scale down to local level\, as also reflected in the quality of coverage from in-depth news features to poorly referenced\, click-bait churnalism.  Join us for this online seminar that takes place over one day – Wednesday 9th February.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, February 9\, 2022 – 10:00 GMTtoWednesday\, February 9\, 2022 – 15:00 GMT \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration closed  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nHow research is communicated should be of the greatest importance to academics\, their organisations\, funders\, journals and the media organisation. Ultimately it should be of the highest importance to policy makers and society. Yet\, in a world where research is increasingly published Open Access there is still a failure to include all of the relevant pieces of information\, such as links to the research paper\, especially on a local level.   \n\n\n\nThose working in the publishing\, media communications\, library and journalism sectors share common ground and would benefit from a greater understanding of how they could benefit by their greater collaboration. Librarians and journalists both work to analyse and deliver factual information\, yet that is undermined by missing out key elements that can underpin a news story\, such as an article or funder link.   \n\n\n\nAcademics looking to capture pathways to impact miss out on evidence if there is no audit trail relating to the coverage due to the lack of proper media coverage. Whilst Altmetrics can help this\, it often fails to pick up mentions\, due to the aforementioned problems. The lack of substantial evidence within a news story has the potential to generate fake or poorly reported news\, which can have a damaging impact on research communication. It is much harder for a journalist to apply bias or cherry pick a piece of research if they have to cite a freely available research article or lay summary.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at journalists\, librarians\, publishers and communications professionals in universities and publishing.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-event checks \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

The COVID pandemic presented a rapidly expanding and evolving science coupled with significant scientific uncertainty. There has been much public and political hunger for information\, as well as debate and misinformation\, all amplified and polarized by social media. There is a story to tell\, but the consequences of misinformation can have fatal consequences and cause considerable public harm. Andrew is Reader in Public Health at the University of Sheffield\, and has been sought after by the media for his expertise in communicable disease control\, including BBC News & Newsnight\, Australian Broadcasting Corporation\, the Guardian\, El Mercurio and various radio channels.

SUMMARY:Free UKSG Further Education Webinar Series - Reporting for better budget allocation and improved user experience
DESCRIPTION:Reporting for better budget allocation and improved user experience\n  \n\nThe digital revolution has changed the relationship between libraries/librarians and end-users. Many libraries have had to strengthen their digital presence to survive\, especially over the last 12 months. Part of making libraries accessible and effective is to install tools that allow them to demonstrate and monitor the library’s impact on its users. \n\nIn this talk\, Cristina Ruiz de Asua\, academic librarian at Nescot College\, will be discussing the importance of reporting and the key metrics you need to look out for\, whether it is to identify bottlenecks\, improve services or better allocate budgets. Cristina will also talk about the improvements on user experience she’s carried on during the pandemic\, including the implementation of OpenAthens single sign-on. \n\n  \n\nRegister for this recording \n\nYou may still register for the recording of the webinar by visiting the GoToWebinar site. \n\nTranscript \n\nThe recording including transcript will be available shortly on the UKSG – Further Education webinar channel. \n\n(Please note that webinars have software generated transcripts therefore are not 100% accurate.

SUMMARY:UKSG Usage Data for Decision Making online seminar 2021
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is aimed at those responsible for collecting\, analysing and making recommendations based on usage data\, whether in a library setting or within a publishing organisation. This online seminar will take place over one day Tuesday 19th October\, for more details please visit the programme section below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, October 19\, 2021 – 10:00 BSTtoTuesday\, October 19\, 2021 – 17:00 BST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration closed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nThose with a responsibility for overseeing the management of library collections have more access than ever to statistical data to assist with evaluation and to justify return on investment\, and enhancement of the user experience. Understanding the library’s use of this data is also vital for publishers.   Advances in standardisation led by the COUNTER initiative have made statistics more accessible and reliable as a basis for decision making. \n\n\n\nIncreasingly\, libraries are being asked to make extremely difficult decisions about the priorities for their spending within a strategic context.  Although this presents huge challenges\, it can also be an impetus to change the ways in which services are provided. Publishers need to be aware of what statistics librarians are looking at and how they are being used to inform collection development. \n\n\n\nThis seminar provides illustrations by expert decision makers on how statistics are used to make strategic decisions.  It will also present the challenges\, such as demonstrating value and presenting data to different audiences.  Future developments within the field will also be addressed\, together with considerations of how these will impact on decision making in the future\, for example new approaches to analytics.  There will be discussion on how the development of open access is impacting on usage behaviour and influencing considerations for collection development. \n\n\n\nDelegates will have the opportunity to reflect on the role of statistics in the broader context of further and higher education\, and the culture of assessment that is becoming increasingly prominent within the sector.  There will be the chance to share experiences\, positive and negative\, of using statistics for decision making and delegates will be encouraged to actively participate throughout the day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at both those in libraries who need to analyse or interpret usage data to support decision making about resources and collections\, within a strategic context.  It will be of interest to those with a responsibility for overseeing the management and evaluation of library collections in the further and higher education sector\, and who need to demonstrate impact and value to senior leadership teams\, rather than those involved in the operational role.  It may also be of interest to those working in other areas of the scholarly information industry.  It will also be of importance to publishers who need to understand the collection development decisions of their customers. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This seminar does not cover the practical aspects of collecting usage data\, or of creating reports.  These topics are covered by the UKSG Practical Usage Statistics for Librarians seminar\, a hands-on workshop on gathering and manipulating usage statistics. \n\n\n\nBoth days will be recorded and available for playback on demand post event for registered delegates.  \n\n\n\nWe welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics are generally UK focussed\, if you have any doubt about the suitability please don’t hesitate to contact us.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\n\nDelegates will:  \n\n\n\n\nhave an opportunity to discuss and share experiences of gathering and manipulating usage statistics to make financial\, management and service decisions\, as well as evidencing value.\n\n\n\n\n\nlearn about ways in which library resource usage statistics have been used by staff in university libraries to inform decision-making processes\n\n\n\n\n\ndevelop an understanding of how usage statistics can be used to demonstrate value from a publisher perspective\n\n\n\n\n\ngain knowledge of the impact of open access publishing on usage statistics and demonstrating value\n\n\n\n\n\ngain a greater insight into the wider environment and context in which usage statistics decision making is carried out and new approaches to this\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-event checks \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to our event sponsor \n\n\n\n\n\nACS Publications \n\n\n\nfor more information visit the ACS website \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

Usage and cost data is collated and maintained in a spreadsheet with colour-coding to identify resources that are not performing to our pre-agreed standard. This makes it easier to concentrate our decision-making on resources that are performing less well and documents our reasoning to further support decision-making in subsequent years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSarah Packard  \n\n\n\nAnglia Ruskin University  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nI have worked at Anglia Ruskin University for over 20 years in a variety of roles.

SUMMARY:UKSG Licensing Skills Online Seminar 2021
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is designed for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions; librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending. The seminar will take place online over two half days. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, September 21\, 2021 – 10:30 BSTtoWednesday\, September 22\, 2021 – 14:00 BST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is close  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nElectronic publishing has brought huge changes to learned information provision and to the role of librarians and other information professionals.  ‘Ownership’ of content is no longer a simple matter of receiving and storing print copies on a shelf.  Publishers and intermediaries license access to electronic resources\, and so the licence has become a feature of most sales agreements.  Information professionals consequently need to become familiar with the terms and conditions of licences\, their meaning and their implications.  This two-day online course will address these issues using a mixture of presentations\, group sessions and some homework. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy should you attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThe online course is designed for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions. Librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending.
